Question

To protect its cubs the mother hides them

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are several pieces of evidence in the passage to suggest that Option D is the right answer because the third paragraph and the last paragraph clearly narrates how the cubs are safe and protected by mother panther at the heels.

The third paragraph reads as - 'The cubs learn to treat all and sundry with suspicion at their mother's heels.' and the last paragraph reads as - 'The mother spat at them so furiously that they doubled back to its heels immediately.'
